The Adventure of Thomas the Cat by Ichus Rose

Chapter 1: The Lost Kitty

The Little Thomas

Thomas is his nick name, his full name is Thomas Phillip Leonhart. He is my beloved cat that I owned since 2 years ago.

Thomas came into my family on May 2010. One afternoon I heard loud kitten crying in a distance. I thought it was some neighbor's new cat so I was not pay much attention at that time. I was so curious when the next morning I can still heard the kitten meowing somewhere. Sounds miserable. I hurriedly begin to looking for the source that turned out was coming from a carton box dumped in the bushes not far from my house. I went to it and found this cute white and hazel color cat. The carton box is half open and he could just jump easily out and escape if he wanted to but no, these kitten was just sit there obediently, or maybe he’s too weak since it was left there overnight. I fell in love with him instantly when I looked into his beautiful round eye so I took him home. I always love cat but I still considering to pet one.

Who wouldn't fall in love with him?

 So these little kitty that I found was about 2 or 3 months old, maybe, just based on his looks, pretty inaccurate since I'm no expert :) The kitten seemed not afraid to see a stranger like me. He came willingly to my house instead. After I fed him, a huge one, he's certainly starving,  he seemed to gain some strength and followed me everywhere around the house. He liked to play with my children and they liked him too. They begged me to keep him, they even promise to take care of the cat themself. Well, my children were still young, around 4 and 3 years old so I wasn’t sure if we could manage to have pet. It’s about hygene issue. But only after I saw him went poop in the toilet that I finally decided to keep him as pet. I assumed that these cat is well trained somehow before he had dumped so it wouldn't be that bad keep him so....

It's official! We have cat! And we named it Thomas Phillip Leonhart, the prince of our house....
